Chapter 42: The Problem

After talking to Chen Sheng for a while, Hippolyta left for the time being.

She told Chen Sheng that if he was interested in the whereabouts of the gods, he would go to her after completing this agreement, and she would tell him in detail.

Passing through the gates, Hippolyta came outside, where two guards were waiting for her.

"Her Majesty."

The two bowed their heads slightly.

"Nia."

Hippolyta looked tired, and she whispered to one of the guards.

"Take care of the mother box, and report to me at any time if there is any situation."

The brown-haired Guards nodded, she naturally knew what to do.

"My king, are you sure you really want to give him the mother box..."

The other guard soldier had a hesitant look on his face, and couldn't help but say it anyway.

"We have no other choice."

Hippolyta shook her head.

"The Legendary Array was originally intended to be a response to the possible awakening of the Mother Box, but Ares suddenly attacked Paradise Island, and I had to do it."

"If Paradise Island is destroyed, then there will be no way to guard the Mother Box."

"Needless to say, you just stay here, and you can't relax the guard of the mother box for a single step."

Without waiting for any further questioning, Hippolyta walked briskly to her mount, turned on her horse, and walked away.

The two guards looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of worry and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Soon, Hippolyta rushed back to her palace.

She sat alone on the golden throne above the main hall, her expression was not as calm as in front of people, but her eyebrows were filled with solemnity.

For the past two days, she has been thinking about a question.

How exactly did Ares find the coordinates of Paradise Island?

If it was only perceived by divine power, with Diana's divine power that had not yet fully awakened, could he really sense the location of Paradise Island through the blocking barrier set up by Zeus?

There has always been a faint uneasiness in her heart, which has always lingered.

But she didn't know where the unease came from.

For thousands of years, Hippolyta had believed in her supernatural sense, and with this dark perception, she had no idea how many dangers and deaths she had dodged.

Ares has been destroyed, the true spirit is asleep, and the greatest threat to Paradise Island and the Amazon is gone, so why does she still feel that her mind cannot be calmed?

It wasn't until last night, when she was awakened to an urgent report, that she guessed the source of her uneasiness.

- Mother box.

The mother box of Paradise Island has been sealed for several entire eras, and the power in it has fallen into a deep sleep, and the seal has never been loosened for such a long time, and even in the subconscious of many people, the mother box may never wake up again.

Even Hippolyta couldn't help but have a hint of luck in her heart.

It's been a long time.

The vastness and magnificence of the ancient wars, the sacrifices and the blood, were almost blurred in her mind.

Therefore, in the face of the shocking spiritual warning brought to her by Ares's attack, she did not hesitate much, and could only choose to borrow the power of the mother box to fight for that chance to resist the gods.

Although this may come with unknown risks.

Hippolyta didn't regret her choice, and if she had to do it all over again, she would even do so.

Because if you can't survive in the hands of Ares, the mother box will also fall, and after being taken by Ares, it is difficult to predict what will happen.

But most importantly, the loss of the mother box means that she has not fulfilled the oracle that Zeus commanded when he left.

And that's something that Hippolyta couldn't accept.

"Mage... Hopefully you won't disappoint..."

Hippolyta didn't want to have too much to do with Chen Sheng anymore, but with everything that was happening next, it was difficult not to try to come to him for help.

Although she has always felt a little disgusted and wary of Chen Sheng's practice of concealing his true origin and identity, it is undeniable that this man has not really done anything to Paradise Island and the Amazon Clan so far, even those artifacts that he took away have passed the agreement between her and Diana, just like Diana relayed what he said.

'It's a good deal'.

Since it is a transaction, both parties A and have been able to obtain the desired benefits.

This is controllable.

Otherwise, with this man's strength and unpredictable magic, he could have plundered and even killed like Ares, and there was no need to pretend to be a 'good guy' and 'neutral' in order to seek anything from the Amazon.

Even, if the other party's target was the mother box from the beginning, he could have snatched it away without having to wait so long.

But he behaved with restraint.

It seems that he is really just 'interested' in the mother box, not to take it for himself.

However, although there was nothing abnormal on the surface, and he also emphatically implied that the mother box was the property of Paradise Island, Hippolyta still felt that it would be better to add one more insurance after thinking about it.

She summoned two soldiers and ordered Princess Diana to come to the palace hall.

After a short time, Diana entered the palace and looked at her mother, who was sitting on the throne.

"Diana, the Lord Godslayer is trying to find a way to solve some hidden dangers in the Mother Box in the Firmament Temple, go and guard it together, maybe he will need your ingenuity, my child."

Hippolyta's face showed a hint of love.

"Mother, what exactly is the mother box?"

Diana nodded, but asked with some confusion.

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but Hippolyta had been busy with the affairs of the clan for the past two days, and she had not bothered her mother in the middle.

Hippolyta was silent for a moment, and then told Diana about the origin of the mother box.

"It's... There is such a thing. ”

Obviously, Diana was very surprised, it turned out that in ancient history, there were still such secrets.

However, Hippolyta had not told her these things before.

"Diana, there are some things you can know now. Child, this world is not peaceful, I used to hope that I could protect you forever, I wanted to keep you away from all the harm in this world, but now I understand that the only thing that can really protect you is to let my daughter become "myself". ”

Hippolyta said slowly, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

"There you go."

She bowed her head slightly, and said no more.

Diana was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Mother, I will definitely protect the Amazons, and no matter what happens in the future, I will let you know that my determination and my courage will be the sharpest sword to defend the race."

With that, she turned decisively, threw her black hair behind her, and left the palace in a stride.

On the other side –

Temple of the Firmament

Chen Sheng was slowly circling around the mother box, he frowned a little, as if he had encountered something troublesome.

Circles of heavily guarded Amazons around him stared at the void in front of him, as if they didn't see him, but faintly, Chen Sheng could still detect a few faint lines of sight that fell on him from the dark.

'Are you so afraid that I'll run away with the mother box?' ’

Chen Sheng couldn't help but think.

However, the mother box in front of him did make him feel a little tricky.

For for the first time, a foreign object seemed to react to the power of the Infinity Stones at his disposal.
